At 3:00pm on August 8, Greg Gould & Dax and Bill Simmes & Bonnie were called out to a house explosion in Schenectady. The house was abandoned but the water and gas were still on, and the property was being used by homeless people in need of shelter. When the teams arrived, they had received reports that one female was possibly inside the home at the time of the explosion.
Dax and Bonnie searched all sides of the collapsed building, whose first and second floors were pancaked onto each other. They also searched the basement and attic. Bill said the dogs searched well and were able to confirm that no one had been trapped inside. Greg & Dax and Bill & Bonnie were released from the scene at 2:00am, having confirmed for the crews that no one was in the structure.
